Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375˚F.

Slice the baquette into 1/2 inch slices and then cut or tear them into cubes.

In a small bowl, combine the ghee or oil of your choice, salt, oregano and pepper. Set aside.

Spread the bread evenly on a baking sheet. Drizzle the seasoning on the bread and toss till it is well combined.

Bake it in the oven for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, check if it brown enough. If not, let it bake for another 5 minutes. You will have to check on if every 5 minutes.
